Crowd figures was 297300 which was 5% less than last year (97000 on race day). Still pretty good if you ask me when you consider that some IRL rounds only brought 65,000 people during race day.
Now i'm gonna leave the media centre and get pissed lol.
Damn Clipsal was only 6000 short of that this year. Clipsal will be hoping to crack the 300,000 mark next year. The 09 event has its launch on Friday, so supports and concerts get announced then.
I noticed a lot of discussion for the V8 Race 3.
The same finishing order of Whincup, Tander, Winterbottom for all 3 races.
McConville caused the 1st SC when an electrical failure caused the car to come to a halt on track. Thompson then had the same trouble under the SC.
Holdsworth jumped to 2nd during the pit stops after Tander's crew had a problem with a rattle gun.
Van Gisbergen turned around Perkins at Turn 4, causing damage to his car which bought out the SC. Caruso also hit the wall around this time.
Holdsworth lost his 2nd spot the lap after the 2nd restart when had a moment into Turn 3 and had to run down the escape road.
